And I am still doing my Holiday preparations. This is the first year since I am back in Germany where I am really busy preparing everything. But it is fun, even though I am busy from morning until night.

5 doors are open on our Advent calendar and I am doing my last Christmas preparations this week so that as of next week I will be finished with all and be able to fully concentrate on the girls. Today I decorated some more and made more chocolate gift boxes.

I was asked to make some non-christmasy chocolate boxes, a break from all the Christmas papers that I have been using these past weeks. And you can pick out your own greeting by sticking the little labels on the box.

It's the second of Advent already and today we opened the fourth door on our Advent Calendar. We had planned to go to the little Christmas Market in a neighboring town where they decorate their houses and court yards and sell hand-made items. But it was pouring so bad that we decided to stay home. It was so cozy indoors and we decorated some more and now our tree is also standing.

Then I got this beautiful paper from BoBunny which I had ordered from the Stempeloase in Munich. I wanna start making 2 mini albums, one for Melanie and one for me. That way we can keep track of all the fun things that we have planned while they are here over the holidays.
